Prey for Death - Chapter 4 - Clashing Shores effect factored into stat blocks?

When in Clashing Shores, Gorum's presence incurs the following effect on all in his realm:

> All save DCs for fear effects or mental effects that grant control over another (such as Dominate) are reduced by 2, while all DCs for effects that inflict damage are increased by 1 as a result of Gorum’s particularly violent nature at this time.

Is this already factored into the stat blocks for the creatures the PCs are facing? Or is it expected that relevant DCs are adjusted when the party encounters them? i.e., is the Warsworn's DC 37 Reflex save already taking into account the increase, or should the PCs be making a DC 38 reflex save?

And ditto for the saves the PCs have to make against Gorum, i.e., is the DC 38 Will save the PCs make during the Gorum's Notice event (which would result in them being frightened) already taking into account the reduction by 2, or should the PCs be making a DC 36 Will Save?

Unless we specifically state in the text or a stat block otherwise, these types of encounter-based adjustments are not built in to the stats.

Thanks! I'm interpreting that answer as:

- The PCs should be making a DC 38 reflex save against the Warsworn's trample
- The PCs should be making a DC 36 save against Gorum's Notice
